What size sanitary bin does a small business need?
Smaller workplaces usually need compact units that fit inside individual cubicles without taking up unnecessary floor space. The right capacity depends on how many people use the washroom and how often the bin is serviced.
Sanitary waste bins vary in colour, material, capacity, dimensions, and weight. Some may have a foot pedal too. We work with licensed sanitary bin suppliers around the UK to arrange delivery and collection of bins that suit the specific needs of your business.
Some of the most common sizes of sanitary bins are:
- 7-litre sanitary bin – small sanitary bins ideal for individual toilet cubicles
- 12-litre sanitary bin – discreet but slightly larger sanitary pad bins
- 15-litre sanitary bin – standard-size sanitary bin suitable for most bathrooms
- 20-litre sanitary bin – slightly larger but still common in many bathrooms
- 30-litre sanitary bin – large sanitary bins best for bathrooms with high usage
How many sanitary bins does my business need?
The number of units depends mainly on your washroom layout rather than the overall size of the business. In most cases, provide a suitable disposal unit wherever users need access to one and make sure the capacity lasts until the next service visit.
Tell us the number of washrooms and cubicles when requesting a quote, and we’ll help work out the appropriate setup.
Sanitary bins for different workplaces
Small offices
One or two washrooms may only need a small number of sanitary units on a lower-frequency service.
Shops and retail outlets
Customer and staff facilities may need separate units depending on the washroom layout and footfall.
Cafés and restaurants
Staff and customer toilets can use compact sanitary units, with the collection frequency based on how busy the premises are.
Why provide sanitary bins in workplace washrooms?
Suitable sanitary bins give workers and visitors a discreet place to dispose of used sanitary products rather than putting them in general waste or flushing them down the toilet.
HSE workplace guidance states that female workers should have somewhere to dispose of sanitary dressings.
Regular servicing also prevents bins overflowing and avoids workplace staff having to handle or transfer sanitary waste themselves.
What can you put in sanitary bins?
Most sanitary bins are used to dispose of used feminine hygiene products, such as sanitary pads and towels. However, commercial sanitary bins are also used to store other types of sanitary waste, defined as liquid or solid waste originating from humans or animals. This can include:
- Nappies
- Incontinence pads
- Sanitary towels/pads
- Tampons
- Condoms
- Non-infectious hygiene waste where agreed.
Need to dispose of nappies regularly? Use our dedicated nappy waste bins and collection service.
Sanitary waste disposal regulations
Businesses must manage sanitary waste in line with their waste Duty of Care. This means:
- Use suitable, secure bins that prevent waste escaping, leaking or being accessed by unauthorised people.
- Arrange a suitable collection schedule to prevent bins overflowing or creating hygiene problems.
- Use a registered waste carrier to collect and transport the waste.
- Describe the waste accurately and complete a waste transfer note for each load or use an annual season ticket for regular collections.
- Keep waste records so your business can show how its sanitary waste was handled.
- Keep sanitary waste separate from general recycling, clinical waste and hazardous waste containers.
